FACILITIES WITH COMPLEX NEEDS AND REQUREMENTS
Protection For Family
The expert commercial protection system designers at Cherokey Fire Protection are here to help.
Assisted Living facilities present unique fire project challenges due not only to the necessity of accommodating the unique needs of residents, but also with regards to the regulatory compliance requirements. Facilities must be in compliance with both the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code (LSC), and Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) requirements.
The expert commercial protection system designers at Cherokey Fire Protection have worked on substantial facilities like the Silver Crest Assisted Living and Memory Care and the Vibrant Assisted Living Katy. The project team takes special care in planning a fire safety system that respects the complications inherent in assisted living facilities.
Vibrant Assisted Living in Katy, Texas
A 91-unit luxury assisted living project located in the center of one of the most cultured suburban cities in the Houston MSA and developed by Magnificent Development
Vibrant Assisted Living was designed to provide a premium living experience for our senior residents. It offers two outdoor green spaces, an 88-seat restaurant with 24 private dining rooms, and a host of other amenities which include a beauty salon, massage room, laundry room, library, chapel, fitness center, snack shop, theatre, and concierge.
Cherokey Fire Protection design experts made sure the design and installation met the specific fire protection requirements for assisted living facilities. Given the physically impaired population, these facilities must be in compliance with NFPA 101 Life Safety Code (LSC), and Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) requirements
Silver Crest Assisted Living and Memory Care
Silver Crest was co-founded by a woman with over 15 years of nursing experience in senior living, and a vision to provide the highest quality of life to aging adults with memory disorders. The new home consists of 14 units with 16 beds and a clubhouse.
Silver Crest practices a “resident-first” approach that prioritizes the care, safety and satisfaction of those in it’s community over business outcomes and bottom lines. They exceed required state ratios, a choice which prioritizes people, not profit. Each Silver Crest community is designed to accommodate 16 private suites to create a more spacious yet familial lifestyle to combat overcrowding and related health and safety concerns.
Cherokey Fire Protection worked with the founders to design, install and maintain fire protection and sprinkler systems that met the needs of it’s more vulnerable mentally challenged residents.
